Grace occasionally needs a little time away from me. I sometimes, less often I think, need a little time to myself. The vast majority of the time, we're happier together than we are apart, and the time we spend working more than gives us that "me" time that we need most of the time. Even then, there are times when we have different issues/interests, and it's good to be able to grow as a person apart from the person you love. I had my comic club back in California, and Grace had there and here her night going out to a local Jazz club. It's a little bit different from needing time apart, it's an opportunity to grow and develop a bit as an individual in a way that enables you to bring something back into the relationship.
If you don't want to spend all of your time with the person you love, that's not necessarily a bad thing. But if you don't want to spend a lot of time with that person, that may be an indication that the relationship isn't quite as strong as it could be, and maybe this isn't the right person with whom to be making long term plans.
